Class Will Class of 1946 To the Chinook High School at large we bequeath the item which we have in greatest abundance and which is most needed by the student body—our entire stock of common sense, along with that, all the remainder of our intellectual tools, such as text books, pencil stubs, scrap paper, etc., and with this secret—that all the pages in our books containing hard problems and large assignments were torn out and rightfully taken care of in the most honorable manner. To the laculty we give a vote of thanks and confidence for the struggles that they have gone through to thoroughly train us for the cold cruel world and with our compliments, they may take over the school now. To the Juniors we sincerely bestow the right to use our old books even if they have our names on. To them also, we leave our senior dignity—may they absorb it, our extraordinary good looks and sublime conceit, our class spirit, and our ability to accomplish anything we undertake, and last but not least, our seats in assembly—occupy them, b i do not try to fill them. To the Sophomores, we bequeath all our laughs and giggles, our unsolved puzzles, tardy and absence slips, and also one-third of our dignified bearing, and anything else of ours that is left and that the Juniors haven’t taken. To the Freshmen we bestow all our athletic ability so they will not have the handicap of entering high school with nothing, all of our extra credits, and our wonderful intellectual powers which have brought us to our present enviable position. To the Janitor we leave the privilege of cleaning our lockers and he may keep all the little things he may find! BTJRVIL HARSHMAN wills his gift of gab and his job as sports writer on the Chinook Journal to James Jones. CAROLINE FELTON leaves her car to Evelyn McPherson so that she can go out even when her folks have their car. JIM STEPHENS leaves his technique for going steady to anyone who feels that he can live up to the record Jim has set. NEIL SUMMERS reluctantly leaves his permanent wave to Eddie Peschon. OLIVE SLONAKER has agreed to share all her special letters with anyone who'd like a bit of limelight! STANLEY FUNK leaves his efforts towards growing a beard to Gayle Norton. ARLENE HOLMES has decided that Beverly Burns may develop further her art of giggling at the incidents that no one else sees the fun in. MERLIN JENSEN leaves his smooth performance on the dance floor to Richard Leonard. J. T. BUTLER leaves his role in class plays to Alan Schubert so that he can wow ’em as J. T. did. BOB HIEBERT gives up his “screen tatting to Mike Michalson, who will have to stay awake to keep up with the demand.

{■yenio't Olass Histolu 1942-1943 We. the Class of “46”, entered Chinook High School with an excellent scholastic record. We bravely took the initiation given us by the tough Sophomores. For our class leaders we chose J. T. Butler as president, Haynes Gearheart as vice-president, Grace Anderson as secretary-treasurer and Mrs. Crockett as sponsor. 1943-1944 Back to C. H. 3. again. As Sophomores we did the honors and initiated the Freshman class.

Here many of us starred jn scholarship, athletics and music. 1944-1945 C. H. S. welcomed us again, as Juniors. Our major projects this year were putting on the Junior Prom and the presentation of the Junior class play. Both were very successful affairs. Again there were stars among us in the different activities. Our sponsor was Mr. Denny and class officers were: Russell Unruh, president; Dick Lott, vice-president; and Pearl Cohrs, secretary-treasurer. 1945-1946 We eagerly entered C. H.
